Just a reminder that just cause they may not kiss does not make this show any less queer
Of course it does. How many straight romance movies or dramas do you know of in which there is NO physical expression of love/affection, let alone sex? And why are you running interference for possible disappointment in this regard?
JC and CMh have perfect height match. I like it when they are both the same height and no one dominates the other.
That's a great observation. I see them as entirely equals in all ways, other than differences in temperament that are complimentary to each other. The physical aspect has a lot to do with that, but I hadn't consciously made the connection.
Genuinely asking: when are they passive-aggressive?Secondly: do you know what sadomasochism is? Cause they are…
"I forgot to tell you, when I asked you to move in, that I am moving out." That's about as passive-aggressive as it gets. What he's saying is that he knew good and well when he asked the other guy to move in, that he was moving OUT, but he chose not to mention that. And no, that's not something you "forget." That's just one example.
Ummm...yes, I know what sadomasochism is. lol I do not mean it in a sexual sense, I mean it in an emotional/psychological sense. Of course, I'm exaggerating a tad to make my point. Shizuka masochistically enjoys being treated like shit by his older brother, but he keeps allowing it to happen, as he has his whole life. His brother sadistically enjoys treating Shizuka like shit because he feels his father treated HIM like shit, so what better revenge than to shit on Shizuka, who he thinks was the favored child.
Meanwhile, masochist Sakutaro enjoys being treated like shit by sadist Shizuka. Shizuka keeps Sakutaro on a yo-yo of uncertainty and yes/no/push/pull BS and Sakutaro keeps going back for more. Shizuka the sadist keeps yanking Sakutaro's chain, probably because it's what his brother does to him.
Of course, none of these gentle, soft-spoken Japanese gentlemen would admit in a hundred years that they were doing any of this. Being direct is not the JP way.
You have major issues around human sexuality. Also, your projections about what's going on in this drama (not…
Where did you get the idea that it's "telling" for commenters to reply to other comments? Do you not reply to other commenters? Isn't that what commenters do?
The thing you don't like about my replying is that I took issue with some of what you wrote. If I had agreed with you and said so, you'd be pleased.
Feel free to block me. That's what the blocking option is for.
I read the Manga exactly a week ago and I liked the story in general, I'm SO SHOCKED that I only discovered the…
I haven't read the Manga. If you like extremely boring plots with stereotypical JP characters who would rather slit their own throat than speak anything meaningful or controversial, if you like blank-slate scripts, boringly passive-aggressive characters/relationships, and Sloth-like, constant smoking (Because this is, after all, Smokey Blue!!!), you will love this show.
The charm of this series is the equation of the house and their lives. It's not about nc, it's about the emotional…
You have major issues around human sexuality.
Also, your projections about what's going on in this drama (not much of anything) are amazing. If only such depth of feeling were on the screen.
It's interesting that I 100% disagree with you about this show, but "Old Fashioned Cupcake" is on my list of fave BLs. The difference is that in OFC, one of the characters had passion, energy, and horniness for the other, and all of that was on the screen.
Here, we have TWO Sloths, moving in hyper slo-mo through life, and it's about as boring as a BL gets.

I'm stoked! :D

Also, they're gay men, not "queers."

That's the opposite of what I'm saying.
Anyway, never mind. Have a great day.
Unbelievable.
Not gonna argue with that load of delusional excuse-making.
If this were real life, you'd be an enabler of these kind of people.

That's my take.

The "poor woman," lol.

You consider ONE sentence a "psychoanalysis?" lol
Please don't reveal your hangups about sex by mentioning portrayals of sex in a negative way three times in a two-paragraph comment. It's telling.

I love banana bread with raisins.
